JSC Komiinteravia (Russian: ОАО "Комиинтеравиа") was an airline based in Syktyvkar, Komi Republic, Russia.[1] It operated scheduled domestic passenger services, as well as passenger and cargo charter flights to domestic and international destinations. Its main base was Syktyvkar Airport.[2]

Parent company UTair Aviation reorganised Komiinteravia into a new airline UTair Express, which received a certificate in commercial air transport operations on Antonov An-24 aircraft in December 2006.[3]

History[edit]

The airline was established in March 1996 and started operations in July 1997.[2] In 2004 UTair gained control of more than 70% of Komiinteravia (carried 200,000 passengers in 2003).[4]

UTair is planning to set up a new regional division using its subsidiary Komiinteravia that will operate as UTair Express using Antonov An-24 and ATR 42-300 aircraft. It is planning to replace its Komiinteravia's Antonov An-24 fleet with additional ATR 42-300s over the next few years.[5]

The airline's IATA code has since been adopted by Jet4You.
